is it my monitor or is that yellow snow?

Possibly over time. I have no doubt Gingrich would have started to pursue fiscal and monetary responsibility which, over time, would bear fruit. However everything that Bush and Obama have done over the last 8-10 years couldn't be undone so rapidly under any new president. The next crash is coming soon, and in fact is necessary at this point. The new president can only control, to a certain degree, what we do next...

The market will decline/crash and stagflation will set in, yes. Probably in or before 2014. However, no president elected today could have prevented it.

Very nice. And I don't find the dial offensive at all . . . at least not in the pics provided.

Wow... that bad, eh?

Gorgeous specimen. Probably my personal favorite APROO as well. Kind of an awkward change to the subdial printing, but hardly noticeable. Big time congrats on the acquisition, and welcome to RWG (since I haven't seen your posts before this one).

Comments welcome.

Yes, in my younger days. Iron Maiden was my favorite, and Ozzy. Priest, Dio, and others as well. Some tours I went to: Maiden Piece Of Mind, Ozzy Bark at the Moon, Priest Defenders of the Faith, Dio Holy Diver or Last in Line (can't remember now). '83/'84 were some amazing years for music. And I was so young I had to sneak out my window and get rides to these concerts with my friend's older brother.

Right. For the vast majority, who also have no affection for haute horlogerie in general, the basic modern sub is a reflexive purchase upon reaching a certain level of success. It's like one of those no brainers, which also makes it particularly uninteresting but still a very handsome piece. Heh, and that's partly why I have my son's birth year sub sitting pristine in a safe for him.

Looks pretty good to me, actually. Why not just pop the bezel off?? I must be missing something...

Love the gen hornback. Very nice!

Don't know if I've already responded to this thread or not. Hambone, your initial post was made 5 days before my mother passed away unexpectedly - 2 months ago tomorrow. She passed as a result of factors entirely out of her control, not due to any decisions made on her part. Meanwhile my own [censored], type-2 diabetic, overweight, high cholesterol, gout-ridden father's heart ticks on. Sometimes life just sucks. My advise is to spend as much of your time and energy as possible striving being a better parent to your children than your father was to you because that will bring you ultimate satisfaction. Our kids are the joy of life and as you said there is nothing more important that family. In the most difficult of times, you always have that source of joy and happiness.
